The wet mass of an aggregate sample is 583g and its dry mass is 575g. The test shows the absorption as 1.5%. what is the moisture condition of this aggregate? O Air dry Bone dry O Moist O SSD
A sample of coarse aggregate was tested in a laboratory to find its moisture content. The wet weight of the sample found to be 5403.5 gr and its dry weight after drying the sample in the oven was 5235.1 gr. Find the moisture content of the aggregate If the absorption of the aggregate was measured as 2.15%, calculate the percent of free water in the original sample.
A pine wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 50 mm × 50 mm x 250 mm and grain parallel to its length. The deformation was meas- ured over a gauge length of 200 mm. The specimen was subjected to compres- sion parallel to the grain to failure. The load-deformation results are as shown in Table P10.25.
